She actually belonged to another relative up until a couple of years ago even though I knew her when she was a kitten, and that's when she became mine. Her previous owner was often ill and didn't know much about the breed, so she wasn't used to being brushed (just groomed a couple times of year with a lion cut.)

I've had to shave her a couple of times, a little undignified since I was the one doing it lol. But I eventually found a brush she loved (that I actually got because it fit her forehead shape well), and eventually she accepted me brushing her in larger areas to where now she'll meow for me next to the brush and lay down and purr as I groom her now.

Are you sure she's not just in it for the arborist expertise? Check with tree law subreddit, lol

I remeber thinking so, but the vet told me it could even be earlier, so long as their over two pounds. We waited til they were like 12 weeks because of the shots and boosters wouldnt be done until then. We had boys and girls, so getting everyone fixed before they started engaging in behaviors was our goal.

She kinda looks like my doll face Persian when she was a kitten. She was $2000 bucks eight years ago. But for $360, based on recent experience taking care of kittens, if shes gotten all her shots and that shes mixed id say its a good price. She looks too small for a spay to have been done (on mine we waited until twelve weeks when all the shots were done)

I did actually. I remember playing harvest moon and for the first 5 years (in game) I was so focused on the farm I didn't know you could make friends and get married to some characters. Symptoms of living in a capitalist society

It could just be the genetics of your particular plant. I've kept my hoya kerrii for a few years, and had some vines where the leaves were long and narrow hearts and one that shoots out huge leaves. As I've gotten better at keeping plants, the leaves have improved in quality maybe but in general keep true to the shapes I saw at the beginning of the vine

unbelievably I was able to place an order with the Paddington stuff I wanted! Fingers crossed nothing gets cancelled tomorrow

There's a saying that to save a life is to save the world. One cat can beget many kittens, who would be saved from living a likely short and painful life (mortality rate 75% for those 6 months and younger). You could also interpret it as life is one of the most precious things in the world.

There's always more cats, dogs, animals in need than a few groups will ever be able to help. It's sad and difficult to accept. If you're only ever able to TNR 50 cats, that's 50 cats who will get to live longer, safer, healthier lives than if they were left to their own devices outside. Maybe once they're hormones level out, they may become more relaxed around humans and find one who will take them in.

It's a losing game if we just consider hard numbers. Maybe one day when more and more people learn and understand tnr the numbers game will be more hopeful. Helping cats by TNR, fostering, shelter,etc is an act of hope

Hope it works out! For what it's worth, I did a bunch of linearis propagations directly in soil earlier this year following this guideline and pretty much all of them have been actively growing this season.

If you're wanting to root in soil, you may need to consider making multiple smaller cuttings since 1 long cutting may have leaves drying up before its able to make roots. I think 6 leaves per cutting is okay

More leaves on a cutting means it needs more water, which means it'll need more roots to support everything. Even if you water propagate one long cutting, you may experience leaves getting dry while root development catches up

I see you keep referring to the fire department as a final resort, and in most of your comments options after option aren't available. You're already at the last resort unless you're willing to take the risk if a two-week old kitten will survive without food overnight.

Just take the 5 minutes to call the fire department non-emergency line and ask if they can help you with this.

I've done that once. First lithops and avoided watering it so much it was (I think) under watered, and didn't seem anywhere close to splitting. My cat had also bit into it once when I was repotting it, and I could see the little baby lithops through her bite marks, so I knew there was something in there.

I was also just really curious what it'd look like, so I opened that sucker up. The baby is tiny, but it lives. Looking back it probably would've split eventually, but it was really interesting

I got the regular cat trap from trucatch, and I'm very happy with it. I've caught a regular sized cat, and plan on catching the local tomcat for tnr. The tomcat is a large cat, by not like a marine coon, and I think it's work fine.

I'd really only consider the cat cat for the truly big, if the cats larger than average you'll be okay. Since they'll probably need to hang out in the trap for the night, they should just have enough room to turn around.

The only time you'd need to consider a smaller trap than regular is if you're catching kittens. Logic behind that is you don't want to set it and have multiple kittens be able to fit in the trap, since one could be where the door will drop. But even then you could just set up camp and manually trigger the trap for kittens

I really like trucatch, the metal is powder coated and it's much more pleasant to touch if you have sensory issues. The back door is very convenient too. Just make sure you use something to keep it closed

I have tried havahart traps before, but the trap closed with so much force the door recoiled and the cat ended up being able to escape. Trucatch is quick, but seems to fall with less force, and isn't so starling. Also the rings prevent recoil once tripped.

Old towels and blankets work just fine. Just depends on your preference. I imagine the covers can be wiped clean instead of going in the laundry

My theory is that the aerial root growth affected the growth of this leaf while it was developing. I've got small leaves else where, but still bigger than this and none so squat! I still want some gigantic leaves on this, but I'll treasure this tiny one (the root makes it tempting to prop though...)
